Artist Aleksandra Paranchenko

I was born in a small town in the south of Ukraine. The war forced me to leave Ukraine, but I have found a new home in the north of Sweden and now I continue to create art.

I always paint in a good mood and only positive stories. I could create all day long, ideas come to me like radio waves. You just need to tune in to the right vibrations and be grateful to the world for every opportunity. The process of creating art is magic. I am inspired by life itself.

Very often I draw fantasy stories, fairy tales and fantastic creatures. When I draw, I often talk to the characters in the picture, I imagine how they live and what their character is like. I like that and I smile and enjoy working on the story. I think this is important because I believe that the mood and energy of the artist stay on the canvas and then the painting emits that energy. Therefore, in each of my works, the wish for happiness and joy.

 When I saw people with frowns, I always wanted to show them that there were many reasons to be happy. Maybe that's why I became an artist.  I want people to smile when they look at my paintings, to put them in a positive mood. I want one to feel like a happy child with a pure heart and a great imagination again

And as I said before, art to me is first and foremost a way of awakening the most positive feelings in people. Such as love, compassion, the value of life and the value of nature.

I feel happy, I draw it!
